These did not last long around our house. While eating them together after dinner that night was fun, we had even more fun sampling and creating designs while decorating them. Enjoy!

Basic Icing Recipe

Makes approx. 3 cups

Ingredients:

4 cups of powdered sugar

1/2 cup of softened butter

2 t. vanilla extract

5-8 T. milk, soy or almond milk

*For pink frosting add 1 drop of red food coloring*

Combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and blend until smooth. Begin by using a smaller amount of milk and increase to achieve desired consistency. If the icing become too runny, add small amounts of additional powdered sugar until you find the right balance.

Almond extract can be used in the place of vanilla extract as well, but I would begin with only 1/2 to 1 t. as it has a stronger flavor than vanilla.

This icing will store well for a week in the refrigerator, to use allow it to come to room temperature before icing cookies, desserts, etc…

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.bars in Singapore
